what do you think? ur opinion
i am looking into getting another rifle either fter the hunting season or after the begining of the year.
here is what i am thinking...
#1. re-place barrel on CZ VZ24 also re-place trigger, saftey on it. also change the bishop stock and put a composite stalk on it.
#2. browning BLR 81' chambered in 7mm-08rem

I' d like to have that same BLR. I went a lookin' this past weekend at my local gunshop. They don' t even stock new BLR' s- seems they just don' t sell many in the my area. What scope would you put on it?

That' s an individual choice. I' m a big fan of the VZ24' s in original military condition, but I personally wouldn' t spend the money on new barrels, new triggers, stocks, etc. I collect military rifles, but for a sporter I much prefer a modern sporting rifle. I feel I' m normally money ahead with a better handling and looking rifle in the end.
I' m not knocking you. We' re all different in what we like or don' t like. Since you asked I' m just giving you my opinion.

I like the CZ' s as well. But if money weren' t an issue, (not that I think it would really be a big difference until you were done spending), I would probably " opt" for the Browning. I was happy to see Browning go back to the original styling of the Model 81. (Actually I have been looking very seriously at the Browning myself, except in .358 Winchester.)
Either way...enjoy your " new" rifle!

RE: what do you think? ur opinion
i am leaning twards the browning just because i have two other brownings both 30-06sprg' s.
if i do go for the BLR i would probally keep the iron sights or put a Leupold VariX-III 1.5-4X20mm
